I'm optimistic.
A version of Covid that is much more contagious, but less likely to be severe is a great way to get the immune system of the vaccine avoidant trained on how to recognize and fight Covid.
For those who have already been vaccinated, a mild breakthrough infection would serve the same function as a booster shot.
